Tootearendus, often translated as product development, is the entire process from the conception of a new product idea to its market launch and eventual withdrawal. This multi-stage journey involves a series of activities aimed at bringing a successful product to life.

The process typically begins with idea generation and screening, where potential product concepts are brainstormed and evaluated for feasibility and market potential. Following this, concept development and testing occur, refining promising ideas into detailed product concepts and gathering feedback from target consumers. Business analysis then assesses the financial viability, including market size, sales forecasts, and profitability.

If the business analysis is positive, the product moves into development, where a physical prototype is created and engineering and design specifications are finalized. This is followed by market testing, where the product and its marketing strategy are tested in a controlled environment to gauge consumer response and identify any necessary adjustments.

Finally, commercialization marks the full-scale launch of the product into the market. This phase involves finalizing production, implementing marketing and sales plans, and establishing distribution channels. Throughout the product development lifecycle, continuous evaluation and adaptation are crucial to ensure the product meets market needs and achieves its business objectives. Post-launch, ongoing monitoring and potential iteration or discontinuation are also considered parts of the broader product lifecycle.
